Amano shrimp: where to get besides Drsfoster&smith?


Hi, I'm pretty uninformed about possible suppliers for Amano shrimp.

Only two places I know are AZGardens, and Drsfostersmith. Both pretty seem expensive.

Any alternatives? Though I'm mainly looking for amanos, I'd also be curious if there are decent suppliers of cherrys. Thanks,

Hit up Msjinkzd here on the forums... it's where I got mine from and for a good price too

She's a sponsor on the forums and has her own subforum in the sponsor's section

I had a good experience with this seller:

http://www.bobstropicalplants.com/shop/en/15-shrimp

The shipping cost was somewhat reasonable and seller even gave me a small refund on shipping without me asking. Impressed!

Going to try this place on your recommendation, they are expensive at the LFS. (4-5 dollars at one place and 9.99 at another place)

I ordered 10 for 20$, I had 10 but a lot of them died. (due to moving from one apartment to another, and then moving them from a 20 gallon to a 55 gallon.) - I didn't bring them into the water right.


Anyone try those Thai Crabs? those little ones? They look cool, i would love a fiddler like crab (but they will eat my fishes) =(
